    ...I Just Needed To Poop
    Aug 21 2026
    What if that “blah” feeling isn’t just your mood—but your gut trying to get your attention?In this episode, I’m sharing my personal wake-up call after realizing I had been eating way too much vegan junk food, feeling completely unmotivated, living in sweatpants and a ponytail, and—most importantly—hadn’t pooped in THREE days. 😂It reminded me just how deeply connected our gut, brain, energy, and mood really are. We’re talking about the gut-brain connection, serotonin, dopamine, digestion, constipation, nutrition, and why what’s happening in your body can influence how you experience your life.This isn’t about saying anxiety or depression is “all in your gut.” It’s about remembering that mental and physical wellness are not separate. Sometimes before we assume something is wrong with our life, we need to check in with the body that is living it.Because your body is always communicating.And sometimes the “I don’t feel like myself” feeling is simply an invitation to listen.Your gut might have more to say about your mood than you realize. 🌿

  • GIRL! Go Ahead and Free Yourself

    GIRL! Go Ahead and Free Yourself
    Aug 20 2026
    What if the parts of you that you were taught to hide are actually the very parts that hold your power?Your sensuality. Your sexuality. Your pleasure. Your joy. Your ability to feel deeply, desire boldly, and let yourself be fully alive.In this episode, we’re talking about “hoeing” as a reclamation of feminine freedom—not as a performance for anyone else, but as the divine feminine choosing to come home to her own body, her own desire, and her own joy.Because pleasure is creative energy. Sensuality teaches you how to receive. Sexuality reconnects you with your life force. And joy opens you to the possibility that you don’t have to struggle for everything you desire.When you stop being ashamed of your pleasure and start honoring it, you begin to move differently. You attract differently. You create differently. You manifest from a place of fullness instead of lack.This is about releasing the shame, the conditioning, the “good girl” programming, and the belief that a woman has to shrink her desires to be worthy of love, respect, abundance, or spirituality.It’s time to explore what happens when a woman gives herself permission to feel good, want more, receive fully, and live sensually.Because maybe your pleasure isn’t the distraction from your purpose.Maybe your pleasure is the portal. 🌹

  • I'm Trying To Sit Down Somewhere

    I'm Trying To Sit Down Somewhere
    Jun 12 2026
    What if the thing you've been chasing is waiting for you to slow down?In this episode, I'm sharing why I've been learning to do less instead of more. Less forcing. Less hustling. Less trying to control every outcome. And surprisingly, that's when life has started feeling a whole lot sweeter.We're talking about rest, stillness, trusting God's timing, and allowing the Universe to bring opportunities, relationships, and blessings without exhausting yourself trying to make everything happen. Because somewhere along the way, many of us were taught that if we're not busy, we're not productive. If we're resting, we're falling behind. If we're sitting still, we're wasting time.But what if peace is productive?What if your next breakthrough doesn't come from working harder, but from creating enough space to actually receive it?Grab your tea, take a deep breath, and join me for a conversation about releasing the hustle, embracing the soft life, and learning that sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is sit down somewhere and enjoy the life you're building.Because doing less might just help you receive more.

    What No One Prepares You For Before Menopause | ObGyn Dr. Brigid Monda Talks Perimenopause
    Jun 11 2026
    From brain fog, hot flashes, poor sleep mood changes, weight gain to changes in intimacy could be early signs of perimenopause. Dr. Brigid Monda breaks down what every woman should know about the hormonal transitions that shape midlife. Did you know, #perimenopause can begin as early as 35. Yet most women don't know what it is, what it feels like, or how to recognize the signs.In this episode of Be That Woman, I sit down with OB/GYN & Menopause Practitioner, Dr. Brigid Monda, to unpack one of the most misunderstood stages of a woman's life: perimenopause, menopause and post-menopause.We explore what is actually happening in the female body from a medical perspective, the signs women shouldn't ignore, the role of hormones like oestrogen, and how these changes can impact relationships, intimacy, confidence, and overall wellbeing.We also discuss why menopause remains such a silent conversation in many communities, what women can do to navigate this transition with knowledge, support and confidence and how you can reach Dr. Brigid, a menopause practitioner directly.
